ooo~~~ Beverly Kawalec expressed concern with the power line through the development. She felt it was an obtrusive eyesore and that Chapel Hi11 staff should include (1) stipulations which require that the recreation axes be moved outside of the power line easement, (2) a stipulation for a 50' buffer between buildable area and the easement observing all setbacks, aad (3) a dedication to the Town of Chapel Hill of pedestrian easement within all pourer line easements. Commissioner Lloyd inquired how many acres of water was behind the dam. Collins responded 1-1/2 acres. Mayor Nassif stated that the power line easement should not be platted in the lots at all, just be a space marked easement. He noted that this would be part of his motion when the project comes to the Town Council for a vote. He noted there were computations which could be done for the reservoir in case of a dam blowout. He felt the applicant should furnish this computation. Commissioner Carey inquired. if the power line easement was included in the floor area ratio and Collins responded qes. He continued asking if the ordinance allowed this and the response was yes. David Pasquini inquired if staff would confirm the potential presence of a stream subject to the Resource Conservation District requirements and .would inform the Town Council and Walden responded yes. He cited the potential effects on lots 12. 13. 40, 41. 42, and 43. Mayor Nassif expressed concern with the contours of the lots located across Weaver Dairy Road from the proposed Bradley Road extension in regards tv a proposed collector road. Collins responded that topographical maps were used to plot out the alignment of the collector street. Nassif asked if there was to be an overpass on Sunrise Road and Collins responded yes. Settp Margison inquired about the timing for the road construction. The developer responded approximately 3 years. Allen Aldridge, applicant. was sworn in for his statement. Barry Jacobs inquired about traffic projections in regard to I-40. Collins referred this question to the applicant and noted that Chapel Hill staff had done a Weaver Dairy Road impact study. Walden responded that Chapel Hill staff had prepared a corridor study of Weaver Dairy Road from NC S6 to U5 15-501. The three intersections studied were NC $6/Weaver Dairy Raad. Erwin Road/15-5D1s and Erwin 8oad/Weaver Dairy Road. The conclusions were as follows: (1) Considering the existing conditions and. developments approved, but not qet constructed, there is a problem of overcapacity at the l5 501/Erwin Road intersection. This will be partially mitigated by the improvements proposed for Sage Road Extension (2) The Erwin Rd/Weaver Dairy Road intersection is not yet at capacity (3) The Weaver Dairy/NC 86 intersection is well below capacity Walden noted that this study did not address the impacts of I-40. Jacobs asked for NCDOT projections of Z-40 impacts on the area. Willhoit reviewed the procedures to adjourn the public hearing. Allen Aldridge. applicant, requested permission to speak. Willhoit noted that the hearing had been continued to receive staff reparta. He stated that Mr. Aldridge could speak to those concerns. Mr. Aldridge began by apologizing to the Boards for bringing this project forward in the manner in which it was presented. He noted there was great difficulty in trying to deal with 4 bodies ( 2 Administrative staffs and 2 governmental agencies) as well as OWASA.
